MISS KETUIUll'S YEAiUINtt. " I doivt believe Ketury would sell that critter for its weight in gold. It's a cosset brought up on cream, I tell her, and seeing she's notional with nothing but hens and ducks and live stock to keep her company, it ain't a wonder she sets such store by what she's raised. That's just how the casu stands, 'Li sherl" The man addressed as " Lisher " was leaning on a pair of bars that led into Miss Keturah's pasture, doing just what the good book commands us not to do, viz : " Coveting his neighbor's posses sions." " I jocks," said he, with his gaze fixed on a pretty, frolicsome young animal, clean of limb and straight of back, with soft, bright eyes, like a girl's, ' I wish I could contrive to get hold of that Al derney yearling j there ain't another like her in the county, and I'd be will ing to fork down almost anything Ketu ry might ask." " You'd better not get your heart set on it," said his brother Jaboz, in the tone of deliberate emphasis common to him, ' I do believe Ketury would almost as soon give you herself as part with that yearling." Just then the graceful creature in the lot, with her white feet buried in rich feed, and a wisp of grass dangling from her month, gave a little caper, and a frisk of the tail, as much as to say, " You'd better believe." Jabez, the elder brother, moved out from the shade of the butternut tree, where the two men halted to look over tho roil fence. "I must be getting home,'' said he, " or my old woman will scold about my keeping the supper standin'. You hain't got any wife, 'Li Bher, to fret if you don't come to time on meals." Jabez, a sturdy, bronzed farmer, went trudging his way homeward, with his coat over his arm, and his checked shirt sleeves, and the red flannel back to his vest showing. 'Lisha, however, lingered in the road. Ho was a different build from his brother, not so square and thick set, but taller, with cheeks hollowing in a little about the mouth, a bushy beard, and kind gray eyes. He lingered be hind, half musing on the words Jabez had so carelessly spoken. " I believe Ketury would almost as lieves give you herself." He knew his brother meant nothing, but the words were sweet to him. It seemed as though he had need ed the assurance of their truth for along time. There, down the road, which wound a little, and clasped a thicket ot trees in the crook of its arm, was the old red farm-house where Keturah lived. It was a homely place, and no effort had been made to fix it up ; but its air of snugness suggested comtort and good cheer. The sheds and out-houses Strug eled to the barn, or else the barn strag gled to the sheds. There was plenty of shade from cherry and apple-trees, where robins and thrushes nested. The old caves were swallow-haunted, and there was a roomy, old-fashioned garden, and a patch of green sward, sprinkled with white clover, where Keturah stretched her drying-line, and let her clothes nut' ter out Monday morning earlier than any of her neighbors. It was a tidy old place, and had come down to her from her father's estate, with a few outlying fields, well fenced and tilled ; a bit of timber land, a good spring of water, and several other blessings belonging to this sublunary sphere. Keturah knew how to prize her inde- pendence. There were a few plain rules she never transgressed; to deal fairly, to always live within her means, and to make the most of blessings, seemed pret- ty plain duties. She was not supposed to be very friendly to matrimony, and Bhe did enjoy being lier own mistress, with an unlimited scope for the exercise of that which is known in New England as faculty. Bhe was a woman of middle height, with bright, frank, blue eyes, a face fresh yet in color, and dark hair, combed smooth behind her ears, and twisted in a smallish knot at the back of her head, None of those chin-yarns, as Miss Ketu rah said, for her. She was a world too sensible to wear a false wad on her cra nium. She had been out just at night fall to attend to her chickens, and to see that they were all in the coops, under the feathers of the clucking hens. A lit tle invalid creature, a pretty ball of down, with a sprained ankle, she brought and put in a warm basket on the man tel. There was a shrewish wind blow- ing outside, although it was May, with blossoms from the apple-trees whirling down to the grass. A small wood-tire snapped and crackled on Miss Keturah's hearth, and the lilacs were in bloom, and the door-yard gay with jonquils and datty-down-dilJies. The dog and cat, sleek and well fed. as doe and cat need be, were lying on the hearth in their own appointed places, and there sat Miss Keturah, with a little round stand beside her, in the circle of light from the genial fire, sewing away on a pair of un mentionables for little Billy Sbaw. Mrs. Shaw, bis mother, was poor, always in hot water, with a dreadful want of cal culation and good judgment in her up per story. It was either a fdast or f famine in the Shaw establishment all the while. The juvenile Shaws had to go without their crust buttered six days in the week : but if on the seventh their mother happened to earn a dollar, just as likely as not it was all spent in but ter, and eaten up at one meal. Keturah despised such shiftlessness, but her hands never stopped doing for tho bhaws. Now, as she sat there, in tur cheerful and contented loneliness; with the big clock ticking in the corner, there came a Knock at the door. " Come in, Johnny Shaw," called out iteturah, without turning: round " There's the bag of potatoes I promised your mother in the cellar-way. You can help yourself. I shall churn to morrow, and your mother may send over lor a pail of buttermilk. " Ahem !" Keturah turned around suddenly, and there stood J-iisha Hates holding bis bat. and looking into it as if he expected to discover the profoundest wisdom in its dopths. Sakes alive I" exclaimed Miss Ketu rah, "you gav6 me such a start. thought, to be sure.it was Johnny Shaw, Take a chair, 'Lisher, and draw up to the fire. Gold, ain't it, for this time of the years'" "Good for blue noses," said Lisher, but he felt, as he expressed it afterward " Btreaked," much as a man feels when he is about to break tho ice, and plunge ' into a cold bath. Howover, he sat down on the edge of a chair, carefully deposit- ed his hat under it, took out his red silk handkerchief and mopped his face all over. . There was a little preliminary clear ing of the throat, and then 'Lisher said with that circumlocution of speech ha bitual to the born Yankee : " I don't s'poeo, Keturah, you've got any crass seed you'd be willing to part with for a fair price r" " Going to put down more of your land to grass ?" inquired Keturah, with slight accent ot disapproval. "1 was sauinting that way," returned Lisher, hesitatingly, almost wishing he could back out of the scrape, and go to grass himself, but he gave a hitch to his ohair that brought mm a little nearer Keturah on the other side of the stand. " Instead of seeding down any more, if I had your farm, 1 should put a few barrels of lime on the triangle lot, and sow in with clover." " That's what I mean to do," respond ed 'Lisher, giving his chair another hitch, utterly forgetful of St. ram s com mand, "I suffer not a woman to toach." Your pasture looks uncommon well this spring," he added. " Yes, the feed is good," said Keturah, sewing away calmly in the candlo light. Tho chair bitched a nttio nearer. Keturah, that's a mighty fine Alderney yearling of yours." The tone was soft, persuasive, and melting. Keturah just raised ber eyebrows. Umph I" she knew what 'Lish was dri ving at now. The chair hitched a little nearer, the tone grew more coaxing and oily. " Ke turah, wouldn't you, couldn't you be persuaded to sell me that critter 't" The small unmentionables aroppoa from Keturah's hand ; the audacity of the request tilled her with amazement. " How can you ask such a question, Lisher Bates '( You know I wouldnt part with that heifer for any money." 'Lisher had heard that " where there's a will there's a way," and another wise saw : " faint heart never won fair lady." He determined upon a strike. " Then, Keturah," said he, suddenly, you must marry me, for I'm determed to get a lien on that there critter, some way or oth er." If 'Lasher's unheard of temerity had stopped here, Keturah would probably have thrown the small unmentionable at him, but ho did not wait for such a dis aster he got up, made one stride over to where the bewildered spinster sat, and gave her a rousing kiss on her cheek. It is utterly impossible to pre dict what would bavo bappeucd it an unmistakable " snicker had not sound ed through tho room. The door had opened during the love scene above de scribed, and admitted Johnny Shaw, just in time to witness the denouement, He had come lor " them potatoes. "Them potatoes"-saved 'Lisher's ba con, although I suspect Keturah had al ways bad a sneaking kindness lor .La sher. At any rate, some months after ward she gave him the yearling and her self along with it ; and he being a good man, who knew the use ot a door mat, was regular to his meals, and was appre ciative of an excellent wife, whose price is above rubies, I can safely say that Ke turah's last state has not been worse than her first; and as to the yearling, it has grown to be a iauious cow, the best milker in the county, and lives in per petual clover. The litxolution. Tlio Duke's Mittens. In the winter of 181", says the author of " lleminiscences ot iutty lears, the wife of an industrious blacksmith in Ks- sex resolved to knit a pair of mittens for the Duke ot V ellington, as she had to ask his Graca a favor, to which the gift was to be introductory. The mittens were received at Apsley House, and the Duke wore them the same day at the Horse-Guards, showing them, with a smile, to his military col leagues there, and desiring that the honest dame's request might be imme diately attended to. She stated that her husband had been one of his Grace's sol diers, and that he had had the misfor tune of losing his Waterloo medal, which he had always worn on the anniversary of his marriage. She stated that this anniversary was again approaching, and that she would ever ieel deeply gratetu if the Duke would allow another medal to be issued, as the loss had seriously af fected her husband s spirits, bhe would only further trespass on his Grace so far as to solicit that the medal should be sent to her privately, as she wrote with out her husband's knowledge, and wished to give her partner an agreeable sur prise on the arrival of the wedding-day, This was speedily approaching. The Duke had ordered that her request should be attended to, but the poor wife had received no medal, bhe accordingly ventured to address a second letter to the Duke ; this was soon known at the Horse-Guards. His Grace arrived there one morning in a towering passion, dashed the letter down on the table, and demanded to know why his orders had been neglected. The matter had been overlooked. An instant reference was made to a gentleman in Essex, who in quired if the claim was a correct one this proving to be the case, the medal was dispatched without delay, but whether in time for the nuptiul day is uncertain. Oyster Culture in Enn.pc. A valuable contribution to the science of animal culture, if we may use the term, is tound in the report of a com mission appointed in Ireland to inquire into the methods ot oyster culture in the United Kingdom and France, with a view to the introduction of improved methods of cultivation. This appears to be by far the most complete and practical account of the subject that has yet been published, including, as it does, the investigations prosecuted under pub lie and private auspices in the different countries of Europe. After a discussion of the oyster fisheries of England, and giving a description of the different methods and places of culture, it ro marks, in conclusion, that while not con curring in the opinion put forward by some as to the extraordinary profit: to be realized from oyster cultivation, the commissioners believe that, if "judi ciously undertaken and prudently and perseveriugiy carried out, it is prohtable, and that there is much to encourage au enterprise of the kind. It also states that Ireland possesses external advantages tor the culture, on account of the feed ing process being attended with so lit tle risk, and. thiuks that ten times the amount of oysters now actually gather ed in Ireland could find a ready sale. A summary of the principal laws re lating to oyster culture in different countries of Europe, with tables of tern peratures and other information, con cludes the report, which is well illustrat ed with drawings of the oyster in its dif ferent stages of growth, and plans of the localities wnere tue business ot oys ter raising is prosecuted.

V e are trying to sketch a mun who does no more than tax the patience and endurance of his companion, but perhaps we shall see that even he, with the veneer and polish of a gontlcmun upon him, may sometimes forget the poor homage which is due to the weak ness ot a woman. Men who are themselves sufficiently mindful of their duties are often curious to know what sort of home such men can have, and how far they ore mindful ot the first duty ot providing tor the household expenses.

His charity never begins at home. For a tale of distress he has ready sympathy at command, and per haps renders substantial help, while the little ones at home are dining on bread and cheese. He can be so jolly over a glass of wine, and among his boon com panions, no ono would tuink him a mo ral failure a man who had begun his career with fair promise, and had made shipwreck of substantial happiness in the pursuit ot mere nvus Intuits, lie lias either beconio what he is from a foe lish sense of the importance of freedom, and a eincero but absurd dislike of the re straints of social life, or from an actual love of low und sensual pleasures.

My theory is that the milk and mo lasses being sweeter than blood, the botts turn loose to eat it. The sage tea will kill them, and it is tho only thing I ever heard of that will do it without in jury to the hor6e.

An agricultural journal of Germany calls renewed attention to the great value, as a manure, of soap-boilers' leached ashts, which, as is well known, ore prepared by mixing wood ashes with fresh burnt lime and boiling or leaching the two to gether for the purpose ot obtaining a caustic lye. Although the soluble salts ore removed from these ashes, the insol uble parts remain, namely, the carbon ates, sulphates and phosphates, princi pally lime salts, accompanied generally by a little caustic lime. Experience has shown that there is no substance equal to leached ashes ot this kind tor manure, not excepting even the richest guanos ; the vegetation ot the cereals becoming broader than common by its use, and the stalks more tubular, while the leaves grow of a dark bluish green. The value of this application is seen more particu larly on meadows, whore, curiously enough, nearly all the ordinary grass disappears in consequence, and instead ot it a thick vegetation ot red Clover is met with, which will be renewed year by year for a long time, without addi tional supply. Thouhle ix CnunxixG. A lady cor respondent of the 1 rairte Farmer, notic ing an inquiry from some one tor remedy for cream frothing instead of churning, writes that she has found out that this is caused by carbonic acid gas, which is heavier than atmospheric air, collecting m cellars or where- milk is kept. It, somehow, by uniting with the cream m a small portion, causes it to troth and to be hard to churn, and the butter be very poor when done, and when there is much ot it in the cream, it will not churn butter at all. She adds : " The remedy I have found that will entirely prevent it, is quicklime, freely used, where the milk is kept, either in lime water, or the lime strewed in the collar. After the gas is once re moved it can be prevented by a vessel of lime being kept in the cellar and re moved when necessary ; and you will have no trouble in churning winter or summer." Fuencii Method of Kaisixo Toma toes. As soon as a cluster of flowers is visible, the stem is topped down to the cluster, so that the flowers terminate the stem. Tho t fleet is that the sup is im mediately impelled into the buds next below tho cluster, which Boon push strongly und produce another cluster of ilowers each. When these are visible, the branch to which they belong is ulso topped down to their level, aud this is done successively. By this moans the plants become- btout dwarf bushes, not above eighteen inches high. In order to prevent their fulling over, sticks or strings are stretched horizontally along tue rows, so as to keep tue plants erect. In addition to this, alt the laterals that have no ilowers, aud after the fifth top ping, all laterals whatsoever are nipped off. Iu this way the ripe sap is directed mto the fruit, which acquires a beauty, size, and excellence uuattained by other means. The Children's Laud. One of the first things that strikes the attention of au American in Germany, when he begins to get a little insight into tue lite of the people, (Siys Jjr. Hurst, iu The MetwdiH,) is the equality and sympathy existing between parents and children. Iu no country do parents take more pains, aud likely not so much to enter the very hearts and lives of their children than here. They very cunjr un.no kaoui tKipaiiiLou wiiu tunr plans, talk with them as to older people, never go on an excursion or jouruey without them, and search everywhere for whatever will minister to their amusement and instruction. In uo home would I sooner expect to find a father I turning himself into a horse, an elu- pliant, or a barrel on bis parlor floor, for his children to ride him, roll him over, or do with him what they please, than in a uerniau one ami tne clergy man s as soon as any other. There are yruintuiy nve juvenile nousouoiu frames t i .i . ?i i i 1 1 " "uny io one auywuoro eise, ana tho purtyiU exercise a wise discretion by 1 : r - a i.; n "a.v.uH lrr,lu.eul enlurlmmlu,'"or luelr children, and providing everything pos sible for the amusement of all, to make their homes the most attractive spot on earth to the little folks. The child that asks a question is not met with a blunt answer, but with such a reply as pleas- ant aud instructive at the parent know how to give as naturally promotes other inquiries and gives stimulus to the mind. Ono of the causes of the equality be tween the old and young here lies in tho fact that the child, at any rate the eldest boy, is expected to follow his father's business, and must early share his plans. Thn same houBe. the same employment. and I should not wonder if sometimes the same generation of customers, are identified with tho same family and name, to the defiance of changes of gov- ernments, from century to century. If Luther and Melancthon Bhould arise from tho stone floor of the old Castlo church in Wittenburg, and be under the necessity of going shopping together, it would not be unlikely that they could buy books, stationery, clothing, and. groceries, and get every want supplied, at about tho same Blinps that they pat ronized throe hundred years ago. But there is a tar deeper cause the Germans love children, and tho morn they havo the greater their joy. Ho soon as another is added to tho number, the father is expected to communicato by letter tho fact to all his near and re mote relatives and friends, and in duo time he has every reason to expect con gratulatory letters from them in return. The fact is stated in the papers, and then more letters come. The little stranger is fairly smothered with pres ents.

Attempts are making abroad to intro duce the artificial growth of the finer and more valuable sponges. V hen the sponge is first gathered ot tho bottom of thoTsea, it is covered with a black gelati nous substance, resembling vcgctablo granulations, among which microscopic white and ovitorm bodies may ue ois- tinguished. These are the larnu des tined to perpetuate tho i-peeies. When arrived at maturity they ure washed out by the sea-water which incessantly Hows through the sponge; they then swim along by the aid of their vibrating hairs until they reacn a suitable rock, to which they attach themselves, and there com mence a new life. This emigration of the larvsu from the parent sponge occurs about the end of June oud beginning ot Jul v. The sponge prelerred fjr this purpose are those found on the coasts of Syria, where they are collected before the peifection of the larvic, transported to the localities desired, and arranged in stone troughs und sunk.
